Toronto shooting: Deadly attack in Greektown district
19 minutes ago
A gunman has opened fire on a busy avenue in Toronto, killing a young woman and injuring 13 other people, one of them critically, police say. The victim critically injured in the Canadian city's Greektown district is a girl of eight or nine, they add. The gunman is dead, reportedly killed in an exchange of shots.
The attack erupted on Danforth Avenue on Sunday evening, when the area was teeming with people, Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper reports. The motive for the shooting, which reportedly targeted at least two cafes or restaurants, is still unclear.
In a video clip shared by Canadian media, a white man wearing a dark cap and dark clothing and carrying a shoulder bag can be seen stopping on a pavement and pulling out a handgun before firing shots.
Some of the victims were treated at the scene, while others were taken to local hospitals.

Emergency services were called out just after 22:00 (02:00 GMT Monday) to the scene, a piazza with a fountain that is popular with local people and was busy at the time, the Globe and Mail writes. A number of people were reportedly hurt in a cafe called the Demetres.
